Sonia Sodha being eployed by the 'left-wing' Guardian/Observer is so important to her grift. If she was just any right wing grifter she's be drown out. Being 'the lefty who happens to agree with everything we say' is still a lucrative choice.

For the record, Robin Ince is a superb comedian, an absolute mensch, a remarkable thinker and the kindest human you’ll ever meet. And the BBC is a genuinely great and globally unique institution that needs to stop being afraid. I think that’s where most of its faults and issues stem from.

It's worse than that. They are alienating those who have always voted Labour precisely because they are trying to please those who never will. The tone deafness is off the charts.

this is not behavior becoming of a FIFA Peace Prize recipient.

Critics argue that the ECHR stops us from being able to deport illegal migrants. In reality, in 75 years the ECHR has only ruled against the UK in 13 cases out of 500k: 0.000026%. The ECHR is being used a scapegoat for domestic challenges, and we must defend it.

Christmas CANCELLED in London 💔🎄

That's because you're in Dubai.

Again, supporting my core political belief - that so much of politics is people trying to go back to the time they were a child not realising that it was great because they were a child

Reminds me of the cry 'why isn't the MSM covering X' endlessly repeated about whatever X the MSM had been covering!

Guardian Football Weekly is now unlistenable, and it is not Max Rushden’s fault. It is the likes of Wilson, Glendenning and Ronay, who are the sourest football journalists around

To pick a random example: Sonia Sodha is not a better person with less crazy views that the Father Ted guy who destroyed his own life. She is the same but *more calculating* about how she spreads hate. That’s not better! It is worse.

I've decided to start agreeing with all these whiny fascists about how terrifying the really posh bits of Central London are now because I actually quite like them all thinking I must be Snake fucking Plisskin for sometimes eating a Pret a Manger sandwich on a bench in Hyde Park.

Donald Trump addresses the UN General Assembly.

I am going to stop posting about graham lineman. Jk rowling, musk. Tommy robinson. Helen lewis. And Hadley freeman. They are irritating right wing numpties but they are irreverent. Maybe not musk he is relevant.

In addition to Katie's point, what these takes all miss is a lot of people on the centre and left...haven't actually left X. Continues to be startlingly to me how many people just don't *notice* the degradation of their media environment.

I’m against political assassinations on the basis that I am a pacifist. I don’t make exceptions for political opponents because that would be unprincipled. I’m also against guns generally.

So bloody true !! Well done Private Eye !

In the Private Eye ....

I stand with PBS. I stand with NPR. I stand with Stephen Colbert. I stand with Jimmy Kimmel. I stand with the First Amendment. PERIOD.* *Also #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files

Indeed, as I wrote on Tuesday. It might sound alarmist, but it's pretty clear we're following down a similar track: national.thelead.uk/p/america-tr...

Essential podcast about the appalling career of terrible person Charlie Kirk

'Free speech' warriors called racists, homophobes, & misogynists/sexual assaulters being fired from their jobs, & occasionally prosecuted, "cancel culture", but whatever it is it's based in ethics & justice. This isn't cancel culture this is unethical, unjust, & driven by hate; Kirk would be proud.

Murder is wrong. Pogroms are wrong. Using a murder to incite a pogrom against a small and vulnerable group in society is wrong. (If I’m not mistaken, an assassination was the excuse for the wave of mob but state-sanctioned violence in Russia in 1881 that gave us the term “pogrom.”)

The meaning of Charlie Kirk: against insipid revisionism open.substack.com/pub/jamesblo...

Bluesky isn’t perfect but at least its owner isn’t demanding violent insurrection in the UK from thousands of miles away

The System That Built Charlie Kirk Just Marched With Tommy Robinson #DamoRants #Fascism youtu.be/9Q8hoahfkdo

I would say: Elon, dearest, you're ignorant about us Brits. We beat the Kaiser, Hitler, Mussolini, Moseley & other fascists (with help from other good people). We are calm & and reasonable, but don't push us.

I don't disagree with you Ed but I think there's even more to it than this. Fascism is good for business. There's a lot of very wealthy, very unscrupulous people behind all of this because they need authoritarianism to allow them to make even more money.

it's real support from actual racists

The British Media do not speak for British citizens… like the politicians, they speak for the Israelis, the fascists and the powerful western corporate powers who pay them very well!!

Multiple times this year I’ve had coffee with fellow immigrants who grew up in corrupt third world countries and the shared sentiment has been that Americans don’t understand how bad things are going to get.

Especially Sonia Sodha (female nonce apologist), Sean Ingle (who lied about a study he linked to in one article) and Susanna Rustin (who thinks were about to have a global resource war), who palled around with Nick Cohen (another transphobe), despite his crimes against female colleagues.

Columnists are generally dumb but I think Hadley Freeman is going for some sort of prize

'Whatever malicious thing can be found anywhere in the world can be found [in London]… actors, jesters, smooth-skinned lads, Moors, flatterers, pretty boys... quacks, belly dancers [and] sorcerers'. A visitor to London, 1180.

Journalism knows no shame and some journalists are poison to our national health. Hannah Barnes …. Shame on you .

In defence of Hadley Freeman - She's an important reminder that the US can also export weird reactionaries to the UK, it's not just a one way exchange

Tremendous opportunity for Britain here. Let's see if we can swap our riot-inciters for their cancer researchers.

Right? 👇🏽🤢

another beautiful piece which complains about people ignoring women then proceeds, seamlessly, to entirely ignore the cis women who support trans rights www.thetimes.com/comment/colu...

Proof this is a great country. Name any other country in the world where an ethnic minority can become leader of the main party of the right, absorb a Twitter conspiracy about *their own high level census group* and not have their leadership seriously questioned that day.

Disappointed that a British groupchat scandal is like ‘a Tory MP you have never heard of was quite rude to another one you’ve never heard of on WhatsApp’ but the Yanks are just straight up ‘texted WW3 plans to random journo’. Do better, British security liabilities.

Parts of media basically a dementia village, filled with comforting out of date references to happier times…

Column. On pathetic European freeloaders. www.thetimes.com/article/7652...

The left-bashing outgoing editor of the New Statesman

The Overton window has gone so far to right in regards to the UK press If hadley freeman, helen kewis ,marina hyde , staff at the new statesman and jason cowley are considered. Left of centre . THEN gengis khan is now considered a centrist dad and Margaret thatcher was a member of the NUM

We have a UK press who endorses trumps and his supporters like badenoch every move Imagine the abuse starmer would have gotten if he had said the things Trump has
